The Forschner Fibrox 12 Inch granton edge slicing knife just won a Cook's Illustrated test of slicing knives, this knife was the top pick and was the only "highly recommended" knife. This Forschner Fibrox 12 inch slicing knife is a long knife, great for larger items like roasts and turkeys. The granton blade (scalloped) reduces sticking while slicing and allows for wonderful thin slices.

Forshner Fibrox knives by Victorinox are NSF approved for commercial food service use (and are a common sight in restaurant kitchens). Forschner Fibrox knives are slip resistant when wet for safety and dishwasher safe as well (though we recommend all cutlery be hand washed instead). A number of the Forschner Fibrox cutlery pieces have been recommended as top value picks by Cook's Illustrated magazine for home use. The R.H. Forschner by Victorinox knives are made by stamping out a single piece of metal, then the blade is hardened, tempered, ground, polished and finished.

The knife does what it is supposed to do! It feels solid in my hand despite it's length. Easy to control and use. I make Gravlox and the slices of that Salmon were picture perfect. Thin and even from tail to head. Wow

I first bought this knife several years ago. I liked it SO much, that I bought one for each of my two sons for Father's day. Then, recently I loaned mine to a friend who had a large roast beef to slice. She loved it too and I bought one for her. Needless to say - this is one great slicing knife.

Have only used the knife once, to slice a beef roast. It easily cut thin, even slices which did not stick to the blade. The blade, however, is really long. A ten-inch blade would have been adequate for my purposes since I'm not planning to carve a steamship round.
